Extratl of a letter from Cape-Francois, August 6.
" We have now a civil war throughout this
Aland : citizens are fighting against citizens, and
trade is entirely at a Hand, and unfafe : it is a
very critical time, and very dangerous to have
debts out. Produce has got exceeding high and
scarce ; a great part of the people's time is taken
lip with the present difturbances,fo that they can
not attend to the Molalles is not got
at any price."

IROM THE POUGHKEEPSIE JOURNAL.
r | second session of Congress is now closed, and when wc
A confidcr the fubje&s which have been under difcuflion and
the decisions which have been made upon them, I consider it as
concluding under circumstances not inauspicious to the interest and
honor of the United States. The question of the removal, intro
duced as it was, in the midst of the most important business, ap
peared to be below the dignity of the government. It has howe
ver terminated #11 fuither uneasiness on the fubje6t, and if an im
mediate removal has too much the air of levity and local politics,
yet a more central situation for the permanent rcfidence was un
doubtedly a just proportion. Complaints have frequently been
wiadc at the* 'ength and slowness of the proceedings of Congress;
but the persons who make them, have taot properly refle&ed on
the difficulty and importance of the business they have had before
them. Qurftions ariftng on public revenues and credit are the most
intricate m the science of and they were peculiarly dif
fituU wi h us f-om the long unsettled condition cf our public
funds, and tiie various claims and various opinions that have been
founded upon thnn. The report of the Secretary of the Treasury
firft brought up to view solid principles in the settlement of the
Bui lie credit, and is no doubt the ablest production that has ever
be n 'produced in this country on the fubjett of Finance. This
report has been difcuffed> and its principles investigated for feve
fal months—the anxiety of the public has been great—-its expecta
tions have been raised and repeatedly disappointed, till at length
the business has terminated, if not entirely to every one's wishes,
yet in a manner very latisfa&ory to the community and honorable
to the government. The national debt is funded—a considerable
portion of the state debts afTumed and funded also, and provision
made by law not only for redeeming and finking the public debt,
but for a final fcttlement of accounts between the individual Rates
and the union. Thi» business alone so immensely important to the
lrfcreft and welfare of QUr country, is in my judgment cheaply
accompliftied by fix months of debate and deliberation. I could
havr trlhrd the public circumstances had admitted some things te
have been more fully done, which are now limited by the proba
ble neccflities A the union. A more ftrift adherence to principles
would have required the whole of the state debts to be afTumed
and not a pait only—the interest of the national debt to have been
funded on like terms with the principal, and not at three percent,;
and the whole debt to have been immediately funded at an inter
est of fix per cent, and not a third part postponed for ten yeais.
However when I rcfleft on the vast difficulties and opposition that
Congrefo had to contend with, and the various jealousies and pre
judices which have started up, I cheerfully ac<|uiefce, and with
fenfationsof pride and gratitude in the measures which have been
adopted. I consider them as measures of great and wife and neces
sary national policy, and which will contribute, almost as much
as the late revolution in the government, to consolidate our union,
and replace our public character, on the permanent foundations of
inrertft and jufticc
•The great objefls which were ncceffary to make us a free and
refpedlable nation seem now to be nearly attained. Next to a
well armed and well balanced government for the United States,
was the funding and gradual redu&ionof the public debt, and the
settlement of the claims of the several states. One of the last a&s
of Congrrfs was to provide means for the final adjustment of the
aecouuts between the individual ftaies and the union. The pre
sent generation have done in a few yeafs the work of a century.
We have accomplished our freedom, our reputation, our union.
No people have more deeply studied and more happily seized the
true principles of government. No people can frame or reform
their conftitutiona as successive experience may di&ate ; or restore
an d fix their public credit, as the national exigencies may require,
with more cooliefs, harmony and dispatch. Personal, political
and religious frtedom, seem to have attained their last stage of per
fection and fecuiity in America,. The spirit of freedom has in
deed exlfted in a)I ages; :t has often ihown out with a brilliant
Juftre—but its splendor and hippy efFe£ta, have been but moment
ary, and have perished under forms of government illy constituted,
and fubjeft to perpetual vibration. It is impossible to fay how
far improvements may still be made in the great science of render
politics subservient to the happiness of mankind. It has been
rcferved to the people of this country to present the best image
vjhirh has hitherto appeared in civil biftory of a wifely and
ly balanced republican government; or a government which will
ensure the most equal and beneficent adminillration. Our pro
gress in political knowledge appears the more ftrrking when we
«bferve tne conduct of tlie French nation, a nation celebrated for
quicknc'tof conception. They seem to be inattentive to the ripe
f i uits of experience which they might gather from the history of
all nations, and which have been so deeply and elaborately difplay
rd by Doctor Adams in his defence of the Ameiican Conftituti
ona, and to be running with intemperate ardor after democracy.
It is impossible to tell what will be the result of their revolution.
I will however venture to aflert that there is more found sense and
found knowledge of government displayed by an anonymous wri
ter in the Gazette of the United Slates in his Discourses on Da
yila,"than in all the deliberations of the French National Aflembly.
) may be thought too warm in my reflections on the genius and
felicity of America. It suits fometempers to be constantly view
ing and exaggerating the dark fide of public and private life. I
confefs I find more consolation and pleasure in the opposite pic
ture, and in viewing what is honorable and advantageous to my
country. It at least serves to render us more cheerful and con
tented in our own private walks—it gives us as patriots a certain
pride and elevation of fentimenf, anei as men of serious and de
vout affe&ions, it serves to fill our minds with gratitude and love,
and from the view of private and political bleflings, to raise our
thoughts to that being who is the great Author of tbofe bleflings
and Father of mercies
NEW-YORK, AUGUST 28.
'T'HE Gattttes of the fuverai Sutcs of the month of June last,
informed the public, that a man, who called himfelf Ar
chibald Ross, and palled through Petersburg, in Virginia, gave
out that about livte yeirs ago, being on board a called the
Julius Co/at-, commanded by Capt. Squires, belonging to Phi
ladelphia, and on her way from Charleiion to€adi2, the fa«d (hip
was taken off the Weftem Islands by two Algcrine and car
ried to Algiers ; that himfelf and tWeoty-one others, hiscompan
10ns, whose names he pretends to recite, were condemned to Aa
very, of whom himfelf and fix others, at length elcaped to Gib
raltar; that from some Post of Spain Ire the fai& Archibald Rofs,
a " Archibald Deacon, got a passage to Boston, where he left
the said Deacon,and was proceeding through PcterfburgtoCharlef
ton, where he said his friends reftded-. He pretended also to
havefeena Mr. Henry Whiting in slavery among the Algerincs.
Government being in pofleflloti of evidence that there are no other
American captives in the Barbary States but fifteen, who are of
taken in the year 1785, in the (hip Dauphin, Obrian, and
schooner Maria, Stephens, immediately took measures for enquir
ing into such of the fa&s ftatcd by Archibald Rofs, as were with
in their reach. They are informed from Philadelphia, on an offi
cial examination of the entries for fix years back, that no such
fliip as the Julius Casfar, commanded by Captain Squires, has be
longed to that port within that period ; from Charleftort on an ex
amination of eight years, that no Tuch Ihip has cleared out there
within that period, and from Bodon*) that but one veflfel has
arrived tilet'e which had failed froth any poit ol Spain within
the perioaof the pretended efcapc of R'ofs, the maftrr of which,
on examination, declared that while in Spain he heard nothing
of this matter, and that no such pafTmger as Archibald Deacon
came with him. The information from Charleston is further,
that the pretended Archibald Rofs has not made tys appearance
there.
Attention was paid to this impofler, because he furnifhed mat
ter for his own dete&ion ; and because repeated inftanefs give
reason to apprehend that it is becoming habitual with Vagrant ad
venturers to fublift themfclves on good and unguarded citizens,
by persuading them that their brothers, children, or hulbands,
long since loft at fca, are now living in Algiers, where they pre
tend to have seen them in captivity, thus nourishing their own
profligacy in the fluicea of diflrefs, which they cruelly re*open in
breafls where time had closed them. A humane people will cer
tainly discourage this flagitious abuse of their best paflions, by
treating as swindlers and divulgers of falfe news, those who shall
be found dealing out talcs as improbable as they are cruel.
#3" The Printers of the several Gazettes in different parts of
the United States are desired to insert the above.
TOUR TO RHODE-ISLAND.
The late excursion of The President of the United States to
the State of Rhode-Island, is one of those events which makes the
deepelk and most pleasing impreflions on the public mind : The
people of that State had long wished for an opportunity toexprefs
their feelings, personally, to 11 the mam who unites ail hearts."
RECEPTION AT NEWPORT.
The Prcfidcnt arrived at Newport on Tuesday 17th inft. where he
was received with the highest demonftrationfcof joy : An elegant en
tertainment was provided in the Rcprefentatives' chamber—which
was emblematically dfcorated on the oecafion : Addrefles were
prelented from the Rev. Clergv, and'the Society of Free Masons.
After viewing the town, on WcdnefdaV he was escorted by a
large and refpe&able committee, attended by a proceflion of the
citizens to the Packet, and embarked for
PROVIDENCE,
At which place he arrived the fame day at 4 o'clock, P. M.—
A proceflion was formed agreeable to * previous
which escorted him to his lodgings at rifr.'Dagget'S tavern.
The attendance of almoll every inhabitant, both of Newport
and Providence in the proceflions, together with a brilliant ap
pearance of ladies at the windows and doors of the houses, evin
ced, in the mod sensible manner, their pleasure on this happy, oc
calion.
In the evening the College Edifice was fplcndidly illuminated.
Federal Salutes were fired at Newport, and at Providence, on
The President's landing and embarking—and the bells rang a joy
ful peal: Addrefles were prelented by the town of Providence,
the Corporation of the College, and the Society of the Cincinnati.
After partaking of an entertainment at the Court House in Pro
vidence, where the federal circle of patriotic toads were drank,
accompanied by discharges from the artillery, The President, his
Suite and the Gentlemen who accompanied him from this city,
embarked on their return.
FURTHER EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE.
Accounts from Bruffel* inform, that the people of Brabant flock
in great numbers to that city—lo,ooo entered in one morning, to
pay their homage to the new government; but great alarms and
confufion still prevail in that In consequence of the present
critical situation of Affairs, the Hague Gazette has been lufpen
ded for fix weeks.
Alarming accounts are received at Paris daily of the diford.rs
which pir vail in the army, moll of the regiments being no longer
under fubjettion, they revolt, diiband, and are in such a state of
infurre&ion, as renders it impoflible to calculate the refill t; in con
sequence of this the King has proposed uniting the national troops
with the regulars ; this proportion was joyfully received by the
National AlTembly. The King and all the Royal Family are at
St. Cloud to pass the summer. His removal from Paris caused
some uneasiness, and an inflammatory pamphlet was wrote on the
occasion, in which it was said there was a conspiracy on foot, and
that the king was to be carried off ; this excited a great fermen
tation, but it did not prevent the King from going the next day.
The King of Sweden has pardoned the officers, whose sanguinary
sentences are mentioned in this Gazette, No. 35. The prince of
Naflau, commanding a fleet in the Ruffian service, has been defea
ted by the King of Sweden in person.
